NASHIK: Come Nov, the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) will make it mandatory for all real estate developers to hand over construction and demolition (C&D) waste to the civic body for recycling.

A civic official, while talking to TOI, said once the plant becomes operational, the developers will have to inform the municipal administration while seeking building permission about the C&D waste that would be generated at their construction sites.

“The civic body’s maiden C&D waste recycling plant located in Pathardi will become operational from Nov. The facility is currently under trials. The amount of debris is more when the buildings go for redevelopment. The developers will have to inform the civic administration about the quantum of the C&D waste to be generated after demolition of the old buildings or structures,” the official said.

“We would levy a fee on the builder on per tonne basis. The builder or developer will have to pay the fee in advance. The NMC will collect and transport the waste to the C&D recycling plant through its vehicles. The waste would be processed there to make wash sand, paver blocks and floor tiles,” the official added.

The C&D waste recycling plant has been developed on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis through a private agency on five acres of land adjacent to the existing compost plant of the civic body in Pathardi on the outskirts of the city.

Chetan Bora, director of the private agency that has built the C&D waste recycling plant, said, “We have also procured eight vehicles to collect debris from the construction sites. The debris will be recycled to make various materials like wash sand, floor tiles, and paver blocks. The processing capacity of the plant will be 150 tonnes per hour.”

“The recycled products are to be sold to govt departments for their projects and also to the builders,” he added.

Recycling of the construction debris in the city was one of the parameters in Swachh Survekshan. This was one of the reasons NMC’s ranking in Swachh Survekshan dropped during the last two to three years.

With construction activities going on in full steam, the govt had asked the NMC to establish the plant so that construction debris can be recycled. Accordingly, the C&D waste recycling plant has been set up.
